Farmer City leadership has been excited about the coming development of property along Interstate 74 on the north side of town.

But that development may hit a pause as dirt begins to get moved later this spring. Taylor Baxter, City Administrator for the City of Farmer City, told the Hart Media Group that one of its contractors is coming across some equipment that has serious delays attached to it.

According to Baxter, the development of the site will not stop; however, when they need the equipment that is delayed getting to them, the work may stop temporarily until it arrives.

Baxter says they are hoping for the best-case scenario but planning for the timeline they were given.

He reminds, there is a lot happening just off the highway in Farmer City. There is going to be a small retail component along with some housing in that part of the City.
